We consulted on proposed changes to the profession-specific standards of proficiency for practitioner psychologists.

The standards of proficiency explain the key obligations that the HCPC expects of registered health, psychological, and social care professionals. They contain generic standards that apply to all registrants, and profession-specific standards that set out the different requirements for specific professions.

We have already revised and restructured the generic standards. Under the new structure, most of the standards of proficiency will be profession-specific, listed under 15 new generic standards.

The review is an opportunity to make sure the standards of proficiency are relevant to each profession. No standards will be lost, but the language used may change to ensure the standards are appropriate and applicable to individual professions.

We used the responses we receive to decide if further changes are needed. After the final sets of standards are approved by our Council, they will be published. We will then work with education providers to implement the new standards after each profession’s revised standards are published.
